    Like I've just said, I'm far from happy with the result but it was 0-0, it's hardly the end of the world.

    Alarm bells were ringing half a dozen games ago, not after a draw against Livi which we should have won out the park after winning the previous 5 with ease.

    The players have to apply what they’re being told. Today was an example of that not occurring, we had 85% possession in the first half and numerous chances - your forwards need to convert that into wins.

    Not someone that will defend ange for everything but when the lineup was announced I could kinda see what he was trying. Gameplan to get crosses into the box for giakoumakis to get on the end of rather than the sideways passing in front of a back 9 as it seemed to be. Clearly didn't work and we reverted back to passing side to side and very lennon-esque. Really need to find a way to play against teams that are intent on sitting deep and not showing ambition

    It could be a massive moment in the season. We should be top tonight with all the pressure put firmly back on that mob. We done the hard work with winning three tough away games, that today has undone some of that hard work.

    0-0 against Livi, at home, is a disaster.
    1 point from 6, against Livi, is a disaster.

    Can dress it up any way you like, some results have been disgraceful. Today was arguably the worst out the lot.

    I totally get what your saying but it's going to be a long hard season, think we just have to come to terms with that and accept it(I know it's a bitter pill to swallow). January will be make or break for us.

    What part of that is wrong ?

    If you can't see that, you don't have a clue.

    Absolute * bullshit!

    Your post could be summed up with "They have better players", read back what you wrote!

    Total *! Our tactics were the problem here, that and the team selection!
    Man for man we are a much better than them, this * that a player has to skin 3/4 players against Livingston is so bad it begs belief someone would type it!

    We needed more penetration through the middle, we basically send everything out wide, get a cross in, we then fail and then repeat.

    We basically replaced Rogic with Bitton!!! That should tell you everything!

    Kyogo. A phenomenon
    With rogic missing, there was no logic behind kyogo on the bench.

    If he needs a rest, hook him once the best 11 have us in a winning position - if not in a winning position after 55/60 then GG comes on to change things.

    League is bread and butter - I understand the importance of the ferencvaros game for Europe after Christmas in conference, but momentum is everything.

    He * up today - there’s no argument to the contrary that is valid. Got it wrong, and we dropped points as a result.

    it remains terrifying to me that rangers are so utterly awful and yet we are 2 injuries away from having zero creativity or chance of winning the league. And one of those is rogic, who averages 20 games availability a season (so half, in effect) in the league over the last 7 years.

    IT WAS A NIL NIL DRAW!!!!! What part of that don't you understand? For being called 'The Genius' your certainly being very pedantic. I'm certainly not going to jump off a cliff just because we failed to beat an ultra defensive team, in which we missed a last minute penalty.

    Of course there is still a long way to go, and both us and the huns will drop more points, but today is the first time in a very long time that we could have put them under serious pressure, and we blew it. How little we created was a worry. Because expect teams to come to us and play in a similar nature, and the next time we play Livingston, they will have the very same approach.

    They've definitely not played well however, they have had the help of a series of honest mistake that has enabled them to sit top of the league and I can see another few honest mistakes tomorrow to help them beat Motherwell

    Well that kinda sums up your fantastic review of the game. We played Bitton in Mcgregors position and McGregor then pushed up to Rogics position. Then when Starfelt went off Bitton went back to defence, then McGregor went back to CDM.

    So * please, stop getting your knickers in a twist, until you actually figure out where players are playing.

    I think you have missed the point. We had a more attacking team on the park away at Hibs than what we did at home to Livingston.

    We will live and learn hopefully. We went on a wee run of good results and good football. I wouldn't say we were particularly bad today I just don't think we were creative enough. Playing Kyogo instead of GG wouldn't have made sense either as they played so deep, his pace and skill would have been completely ineffective.

    Name calling on the internet was maybe cool 20 years ago!

    Your defence of the manager while maybe admirable should not hold no bounds.
    He made mistakes today and that was clear, you could maybe jump off the high fence you have built these last few months and admit he did make mistakes, he did get it wrong and it cost us, it really is that simple.

    His movement could have been the key to dragging their players out of position to create space for others.
